There are so many options, many less expensive that will likely sound as good or better. Both bookshelf sized or larger as well as a range of subwoofers to enchance the smaller ones.

The Sonos Amp is going to do well for any of these.

If there is any way possible go listen live, don’t worry much about the amp used to demo them as long as it has adequate power to get to your preferred listening levels.

Second option is the Crutchfield “Speaker Compare” tool that does a good job of all but providing the low frequency impact you get from an actual speaker. Usually linked to at the bottom of the speaker’s page.

As said suggesting speakers for someone else is iffy, for me, in your range, I’d lean to this set.

$770 per pair - https://www.crutchfield.com/p_714600M2E/Klipsch-Reference-Premiere-RP-600M-II-Ebony.html

$650 12” sub - https://www.crutchfield.com/p_714R121SW/Klipsch-Reference-R-121SW.html

Klipsch has a lot of offerings and some tempting sale prices.

Bookshelf - https://www.crutchfield.com/shopsearch/klipsch_speakers.html?&pg=6&fa=1&o=p#&nvpair=FFCategory|[rank11999]Home%20Speakers&nvpair=FFSubcategory|[rank37900]Bookshelf%20Speakers

Sub - https://www.crutchfield.com/shopsearch/klipsch_speakers.html?&pg=6&fa=1&o=p#&nvpair=FFCategory|[rank11999]Home%20Speakers&nvpair=FFSubcategory|[rank12300]Powered%20Subwoofers

If you have room the bigger ones will pay back with even more sound.
